4. REQUESTED CHANGE(S):

a. Brief Overview of Change: This change is an administrative change to update the 

title of DLM 4000.25 Chapter 12 (Reference 3.a.) and replace the term “advance receipt 

information” (ARI) with the more common term “pre-positioned materiel receipt” (PMR). This

global change throughout the DLM 4000.25 Manuals to update any remaining occurrences of 

ARI to PMR.

b. Background: While creating the DLMS Manual chapters, the term ARI was 

introduced in an attempt to modernize the term PMR. The term ARI was not widely adopted 

within the DOD logistics community and PMR continues to be the preferred term. Recent 

ADCs, including ADC 1269 (Reference 3.b.) included an administrative update to replace the 

term advance receipt information (ARI) with the more common term pre-positioned materiel 

receipt (PMR) used in the DLM 4000.25-2 MILSTRAP Manual.

c. Requested Change in Detail: This change will update DLM 4000.25 Volume 2 

Chapter 12 title and replace the term “advance receipt information” (ARI) with “pre-positioned 

materiel receipt” (PMR). This change also applies to all occurrences of the term ARI throughout 

the DLM 4000.25 manuals. 

d. Revisions to DLM 4000.25 Manuals:

(1) Revise DLM 4000.25 Volume 2, Chapter 12 title to “Due-In And PrePositioned Materiel receipt replacing ARI as shown: 

C12. CHAPTER 12

DUE-IN AND ADVANCE RECEIPT INFORMATIONPREPOSITIONED MATERIEL RECEIPT

(2) Revise DLM Volume 2, Chapter 12 to replace all occurrences of “advance 

receipt information” with “pre-positioned materiel receipt” and replace the acronym “ARI” with 

“PMR”. 

(3) Execute a global search throughout the DLMS Manual Volumes to find all 

occurrences of advance receipt information (ARI) and update them to pre-positioned materiel 

receipt (PMR). These changes will be made in conjunction with the next formal change cycle 

but will not be incorporated as part of the formal change documentation. 

(4) Revise the DLM Volume 2 Table of Contents for Chapter 12, as shown:
